Re: Combined Weekly Check-In 4/20
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out one week from today!
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke
Upcoming appointments: 4/27 and the first week of may for a telehealth
How are you feeling? Good overall! Only symptoms I’m dealing with are growing pains, going to bathroom more, sensitive nips, headaches sometimes, and sneezing/runny nose mostly in the mornings
Raves/Rants: still trucking along in this crazy world. My fabric mask should be here soon (haven’t checked the mail so maybe it’s already here idk lol) but of course they want to open places back up already. I started my registry which I’m glad I did now because it’s a lot of work!! I worked on it for over 3 hours yesterday and I still have so much to do. I keep having dreams about the baby, it’s been a boy mostly so we will see in a week! I’m excited but mostly anxious everything will be okay.
Questions: Did anyone have to pay upfront for your anatomy scan? I had to for my NT scan so I’m just anticipating having to for this one too.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Banana
Upcoming appointments: just had anatomy scan and 20 week appointment today. Next is may 21
How are you feeling? The anatomy scan was a milestone appointment for us and it went amazing! Ryan was so good for the measuring and pictures. MFM doctor said he was so happy with the scan that Ryan looks great! Such a weight off our shoulders.
Raves/Rants: now to buy more stuff for Ryan lol they let my Husband come too. We are in Michigan and our county hasn’t peaked we were required to wear masks.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit? Red Panda! He is just so cute and lazy lol.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: PINK!!! 🎀
Baby is the size of a(n): Least Weasel
Upcoming appointments: 5/15 for 24 week
How are you feeling? Tired. Easily overfull but often very hungry. Mentally drained about covid. Stifled about preparing for baby without going to a store.
Raves/Rants: I am still on cloud 9 about this being a girl.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit? This is so hard. I love zoos. The St Louis zoo is by far my favorite. It is often voted best zoo in the country. It is beautiful, FREE!!, and like most of St. Louis the alcohol is flowing. My fav animal is probably the giant tortoises or the sea lions or whatever animal has a baby.

#3 Due 9/20
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out on FRIDAY!!
Baby is the size of a(n): Magic 8 ball
Upcoming appointments: AS on FRIDAY. Can you tell I'm excited? lol
How are you feeling? Still struggling with appetite, nausea if I don't take my pills, exhausted, anxious. Starting to maybe feel a tiny bit better in the past week or so
Raves/Rants: Starting to feel baby move more. Funny story, this morning baby was kicking up a storm so I was sitting with my feet up and my hand on my belly and my toddler came over and started poking my belly and then blew raspberries on it lol. I've been talking to him about baby but pretty sure he has no clue
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit? Otters or jellyfish. Jellyfish are just so soothing. When I lived in Florida I used to love going to the Tampa aquarium and just sitting in front of the tanks and watching them.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green!
Baby is the size of a(n): zucchini
Upcoming appointments: Thursday! Anatomy scan and MFM appointment
How are you feeling? Nausea still bad but maybe improved a little. Heartburn is awful as well. The worst is the pelvic pain. I can hardly walk. Really need to get a support belt and hope it helps. The doctor said the only other thing they maybe could do is physical therapy and She didn’t think they were doing that because of the virus.
Raves/Rants: so much stress and anxiety over finances trying to finish school and work was awful today. I started crying during dinner and I couldn’t even tell you what triggered it.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit? My daughter loves the elephants. Her joy when we see them gives me joy.
@ktholysz amazing to be done with this milestone for you! I hope you enjoy your relaxing evening.
Oooh @mflowers929 how many hours is that til your AS!?! 😂 I'm excited for you too!!
@robyn2201 glad you get to see the girls today! I suppose that's one benefit about being PG with twins.
EDD/weeks+days: 17+4
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green
Baby is the size of a(n): Pomegranate
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan May 1st
How are you feeling? Mostly good. I just have a headache all the time, but not sure if that is from pregnancy or staring at my computer all day from WFH
Raves/Rants: I am huge. Like, the size I was at like 25 weeks with my first
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit? Hippos!

#3 due November 2022
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink, but green in the face of the public
Baby is the size of a(n): microphone, apparently 😂
Upcoming appointments: Thursday morning, because apparently the one that got rescheduled for last Friday was a mistake and it wasn't scheduled for then so while I was there I got it rescheduled. It won't be my normal doctor, but hopefully the nurse practitioner will look over my file well beforehand and will be nice.
How are you feeling?
Honestly? Stressed the fuck out. My SO hates Amazon, and while I understand it, it's putting him in a bad mood every time he has to go in for work and I'm mentally and strategically beginning to budget and prep to go into the rest of this on a single income. It's feasible if I can qualify for food stamps at least 😩
Raves/Rants: On the brighter side, my SO is enamored with little Scarlett, and it warms my heart every time he interacts with the bump and talks to it. The other night he pretended to have a full blown conversation with her and it was the cutest thing on Earth.
For a rant, I know we're not supposed to smoke while pregnant but fuck it all I miss weed. I miss being able to not exist for a bit and to have no worries or troubles. Better if I don't smoke though, so I won't.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit?
At zoos, I love the cats. Anything with cats and I'm all over them 😂 aquariums are fun in general but I love the interactive exhibits where you can touch the starfish or feed the manta rays. Those are always the coolest things to do.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: blue
Baby is the size of a(n): gameboy
Upcoming appointments: AS on the 30th! I’m so excited but also bummed that DH can’t go.
How are you feeling? Tired mostly. Food/smell aversions are still going strong. My allergies are kicking my bum which is unfortunately making me throw up more because of the post nasal drip. I’m having some wicked rlp triggered by my constant sneezing/coughing. The tree pollen will be the end of me.
Raves/Rants: We bit the bullet and ordered a big boy bed for 2.5 and it should be delivered on Friday. We went with really nice wooden bunk beds that can be separated into individual beds so that when this baby is big enough for his own big bed we just have to pick up a mattress. I really wanted something that would be practical and last them a long time so I’m pretty pleased.
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit? We live right by the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo which is one of the top ranked zoos in the world. I’m sad because usually this time of year through summer we take advantage of our zoo pass and go almost once a week. My favorites are the bats! We have a giant living jungle and a variety of fruit bats are free flying in the exhibit. They are extremely active in the early evening right before the zoo closes and it is so neat to see tons of them taking flight and swooshing about.

#3 Due 9/20
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink!
Baby is the size of a(n): avocado i think?
Upcoming appointments: I have an appt Thursday
How are you feeling? medium. The heartburn is starting, and the headaches are horrible. I had these with DS1 - low level headache all the time, and flareups that turn into migraines. I guess it could be worse, but I kind of liked feeling great for a few weeks!
Raves/Rants: I've been in a low level fight with my ex over how we should handle custody and COVID. We're okay (and usually we're on pretty good terms), but I feel like I'm torn in two directions: my ex maintains that his plan for custody is the best, and my DH has a very different idea of what's best for all of us/the baby/etc. Neither one of them is fully right or wrong, and I don't really fully agree with either of them. I've proposed a middle ground solution, but my ex is skeptical. UGH.
Questions: What are y'all taking for headaches besides tylenol? anything?
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit? What a fun question! I absolutely LOVE seeing sharks at aquariums, but at the same time, I hate seeing sharks in captivity. At zoos, my favorite is always the reptile house.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green:
BLUE
Baby is the size of a(n):
Book Choy or endive— don’t know what either one is.
Upcoming appointments:
Phone meeting the second week in May
How are you feeling?
Good but still struggling with headaches and pain in my one hip/leg.
Raves/Rants:
I’ve got nothing beyond complaints about Covid... probably the same ones I’ve already mentioned before so I’ll keep my trap shut. Just wish it would stop!
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit?
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out in 2 weeks! So excited!
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke
Upcoming appointments: had monthly OB scan yesterday and baby’s heartbeat was perfect such a relief! Next week I have a teleconference with my Ob to go over the at home BP she’s having me take daily. (I think I’m ok basically my anxiety before appointments is so bad my BP is always SO high before Doppler and then totally normal after so she’s just being cautious). And then May 6 is anatomy scan with MFM!!
How are you feeling? Better than first trimester that’s for sure! Still on Bonjesta but with that I’m now super hungry and eat a lot, no more puking praise God! Tired but not as tired as first trimester! Just so happy and thankful baby is still growing!
Raves/Rants: anyone else feel like they’re peeing all the time already? I already was treated for a uti I think I just have a small bladder to begin with and now being pregnant I just have to empty very regularly I’m probably gonna be a mom that pees my pants third trimester 😂 and yeah like everyone else- COVID 🤦🏻♀️
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit?
anyway I didn’t have any other symptoms for my UTI they only tested it bc of low back pain which I have come to realize is just due to the fact I have a bad back and my bump plus lifting a toddler is just putting pressure on it! If you’d feel better knowing for sure you could always ask your Ob to do a urine culture. But I think peeing a lot can be normal too since I still am even after uti treatment 😂 and thank you!! I hope you can catch a break soon too! Are you on any meds for the nausea/puking? Bonjesta has been a lifesaver for me
@chasingroygbiv my daughter loves going to the zoo. She asks several times a week if we can go. I hate that we can't go right now. Hopefully we will be able to get some trips in at some point this year.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate
Upcoming appointments: 5/13 is my AS and 20 week appt
How are you feeling? I felt baby kicks this week!! So that made my happy and a little less anxious. I feel like I’ve started putting on more weight and maybe look pregnant now lol
Raves/Rants: Rave = baby kicks. Rant = pregnancy gas/digestion issues... I’ll leave it there lol
Questions:
GTKY: what’s your favorite zoo/aquarium animal to visit? Gorillas, big cats, and beluga whales!

#3 due November 2022
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out in 2 weeks!
Baby is the size of a(n): not sure... I don't pay attention to this. I think someone else here said artichoke?!
Upcoming appointments: I have my regular appointment on the 7th (hoping to do via telephone) and my anatomy scan is also the 7th.
How are you feeling? Not too bad for the most part. A bit moody. Lots of growing pains. And trouble sleeping already. Otherwise pretty good.
Raves/Rants: My husband goes back to work Monday and I'm just not ready for it. I thought we had at least one more week but I really hoped he would be off until May 8th (I really wanted him to be off for my appointment on the 7th) but somehow his company is calling him back on Monday. It's not necessarily a bad thing but his hours are being cut so that's gonna hurt on top of not having as much help around the house/with the kids. We'll adjust quickly but it's nice to have my boo-hoo moment. We just got the call today and I've been holding back my emotions all day.
